This page is part of the SiteO, edited by A.J.P.,the fortifications dept. at the Ad Pirum Institute.

On September 12 2006 at 20.00 a new book by A.J. Potocnik will be presented and exhibition opened in the National Museum of Contemporary History of Slovenia in Ljubljana. The title is "Fortified Ljubljana - the ring of wire 1942-1945".

Both the book and the exhibition are with co-operation of the Museum realised by Ad Pirum Institute that has also organised the construction of the temporary model of the bunker in front of the museum.

This event has a deeper symbolic. To build the bunker bricks from buildings that were important part of architectural heritage but were recently demolished or are about to be torn down soon, were used. Bricks used for the bunker are to warn about the irreversibility of such looses. The author of the installation is Anton Marn.

The model of the bunker, slightly reduced in size, was built by four doctors of science, two architects, one economist and many engineers. Quite possibly the most qualified team that has ever constructed any bunker.
